Chapter 62: The heroine who sells herself to bury her father?
"Later, a local man named Wang came to my house and said that the old man's son owed him money and asked him to pay it back this month. If he didn't have the money, he could use his daughter as collateral.
My son is a student, how could he do such a thing?
I didn't believe it, so he brought me the IOU, then kidnapped my granddaughter and made her his concubine.
Then they said my granddaughter broke something, occupied my land, and had someone beat me, an old man. Princess, please, please help us."
After saying that, the old man bowed deeply again, his cloudy eyes bursting with hope as he looked straight at Fang Lingchu.
Fang Lingchu tapped the table with one hand and asked the system in his heart: [Guagua, is this the case?]
The system said, "This old man is right. He is actually very talented. It's just that no one recommended him, and someone else took his place during the imperial examination, so he came here to teach."
The old man was stunned when he heard that he had actually passed the exam, but someone had taken his place.
Fang Lingchu asked curiously: [Could it be this idiotic county magistrate?]
The system said: [It’s not him, it’s his good brother’s father, Taibao’s son, host, their ages don’t match! ]
Fang Lingchu thought about it and agreed. This old man looked to be over 50 years old.
The county magistrate is only 25-6.
When the prince heard about the previous cheating and substitution in the imperial examinations, his face was not very good.
I didn't expect those old ministers had been trying to get their hands on it for so long.
Fang Lingchu also sighed: [These three are all veterans in the court. I didn't expect something like this to happen when they were about to die.]
The system asked with a gloating look: [Host, will you report them?]
Fang Lingchu looked at the tearful old man and said, "I don't want to do such a thing as slipping a note to my father. Who knows what he'll ask me to do later."
Fang Lingchu believes that if he can avoid working, he will not work, and he will never do more work than what others can do.
The system was somewhat speechless: [Host, it's been so long, why haven't you gotten used to it yet?!]
Fang Lingchu righteously retorted: [I don't want this kind of habit. If you like it, I'll give it to you.]
The system thought about it and realized that when it works tomorrow, it will also be working for the main system!
It seems like I really can't get used to this.
If the host I was bound to didn't like to eat melons and had a kind heart, I would be like other systems now, struggling to collect energy every day and begging for help in the group.
"Yeah, it's better not to get used to this kind of thing, but how do you plan to deal with this?"
Fang Lingchu asked curiously: "Just deal with it as it should be. I can just implement my own system based on the existing laws, right?"
When the others heard the system asking what to do, they were all looking forward to it, but they didn't expect her to say something ambiguous.
Others didn't understand, but the prince, Gu Wangyan and Zhang Boren all understood.
"Get up! I'll take care of it for you."
Then the old man was arranged to stand aside.
At this time, the county magistrate who was beaten with a stick also returned.
His butt was covered in blood, and the guards would not show mercy, especially since the person was following Fang Lingchu.
Who dares! If I don’t work hard and she eats melons, I don’t know what the consequences will be!
Even though they themselves didn't do anything, it doesn't mean that other people in the family didn't do it.
So just fight honestly, after all, Fang Lingchu dares to even talk to the emperor.
The old man wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Boren next to him.
The big shot next to the princess already knows about it and will probably investigate it thoroughly.
Fang Lingchu originally planned to solve them together and didn't like to deal with them one by one.
If everyone suffers from the same problem, then solve it together. If not, then don't talk about it anymore.
The next one to step forward was a young girl in cloth clothes.
The standard bow of a lady from a noble family.
Fang Lingchu looked at the girl whose etiquette was more standard than her own and asked curiously: "Gua Gua, who is this girl? Her etiquette is more standard than mine."
The system laughed before saying, "The second young lady of Prime Minister Qin's family."
Fang Lingchu narrowed his eyes and said, "Guagua, were you just making fun of me?"
The system quickly denied: [I didn't, I'm not, host, you're overthinking it.]
After hearing his three consecutive denials, Fang Lingchu knew that he was lying, but he didn't have time to argue with the system now.
[Alright, alright, laugh if you want to! I know what I am like].
Then everyone heard an exaggerated electronic voice and laughed.
Fang Lingchu couldn't help rolling his eyes.
But he still asked, "Who is kneeling in the hall?"
The woman slowly stood up, bowed and said, "My name is Qin Mengxin, and I am here to pay my respects to the princess."
Fang Lingchu asked the man to stand up and asked, "Tell me about your grievances."
At the same time, he complained to the system in his mind: "This second daughter of the Qin Green-haired Turtle family is, after all, a daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. How can she be wronged in my fiefdom? What's going on?"
Qin Mengxin: What green-haired turtle? Who is the green-haired turtle?
Although she was a little confused, her sister's affairs were more important.
Then she said, "This is not for myself, but for my little sister who sold herself to bury her father."
Fang Lingchu? Selling herself to bury her father, a TV plot just appeared before her?
Fang Lingchu looked at her and motioned for her to continue.
At the same time, I asked the system in my mind: [What's with selling oneself to bury one's father? Why is there such a melodramatic plot here?]
The system looked at the young lady and said, "Host, her friend is a woman with a bit of luck! If your country weren't cannon fodder, her friend might have become the most physically and mentally tortured heroine in abusive novels."
Qin Mengxin: What a female lead, so heartbreaking and sad.
"It's like this. I don't like life in the backyard, so my mother specifically asked me to come and live my own life in the countryside. A year ago, I met my good friend Lin Wanrou. Her mother died early, leaving her and her father behind. Just five days ago, I went back home for something, and when I came back, I heard that he had been forcibly taken away by the Prince of Northern Yan."
Having said that, Qin Mengxin felt a little sorry for the girl. She forced away her tears and continued.
"I went to the Northern Yan Palace yesterday to ask for an audience with her, but was rejected.
Just then, a maid sent me a note saying that Rou'er had been abused and attempted suicide several times, but the Prince of Yan refused to let her go. So I wanted to ask the princess if there was any way to save her.
Fang Lingchu listened to Qin Mengxin's incomplete explanation and asked, "Guagua, can I eat Lin Wanrou's melon?"
The system said: [It is possible, but we can only see it from Qin Mengxin's melons, which is not very comprehensive. Only by seeing her in person can we know what will happen. Host, I have a hunch that this woman may trigger the contract mission.]
